Regarding Apple TV – remember that it connects only to two Bluetooth signals plus the remote. So it’ll connect to (1) the KICKR and (2) a heart rate monitor, but not (3) a separate cadence sensor, or vice versa.

So if you go with Apple TV, you could get the Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor for your HRM, and it’ll not only provide Bluetooth for heart rate, but it will also bridge ANT+ signals from a cadence sensor and the KICKR, to keep your setup within the Apple TV bluetooth connection limits.

I’ve a KICKR and Vector 3 pedals, so I’ve been using the pedals as power source and KICKR as controllable trainer, works really well.
The Viiiiva would harness all those ant+ signals and put it into one BLT signal?

Eric Schlange wrote about using the Viiiiva with Zwift at ZwiftInsider a couple of years ago, here

I’ve used the NPE CABLE device to combine multiple ANT+ signals to one Bluetooth channel for Apple TV.

If you’ve already got an ANT+ heart rate monitor, then the CABLE could be the one purchase you need to connect all your devices to Apple TV. If you don’t have a compatible (either ANT+ or Bluetooth) heart rate monitor already, then the Viiiiva would do both in one device.

(By the way, in the US at least, you can find both devices on sale at the moment.)

No need to purchase extra equipment to send more than two devices to ATV. Just use the Zwift companion app which only requires your devices to connect with your phone or tablet as long as it’s on the same wifi network.

I have Kickr, HRM, and cadence sensor connected to the companion app as it sends the connection data to Zwift on the ATV via the network and not radio signals.

As for ATV 4k , no problems with it running Zwift. Graphics won’t be as good as on top end PC, but they are still excellent in my opinion.

The only problems I have had with the companion app are when it doesn’t have a strong to excellent wifi signal with the device running the app. All these problems (which were dropouts) were fixed by adding a signal booster near my trainer.

But yes, you’ll need an Ant+ to Bluetooth bridge or a new device as although android devices can connect to Ant+ devices the companion app only uses Bluetooth presently.

Well compared to my old laptop it’s 10 times better. The laptop froze and lagged .and graphics were not smooth.
Colours are better games runs smoother and not laggy. That’s the big difference for me .
Now it’s not like a high end pc but it’s good enough for me.

Hey @AndyD , I’ve been trying to troubleshoot a problem I’ve been having with the companion app and Apple TV that perhaps you have solved. I’m finding that sensors paired through the companion app report no signal, even though when paired directly through the Apple tv they track just fine. Is this the same issue you solved with your signal booster?
